[RESOLVED] System.OutOfMemoryException

Hi guys. Anyone know how to solve this error?

Code:

---

An unhandled exception of type 'System.OutOfMemoryException' occurred in system.windows.forms.dll

Additional information: Error creating window handle.

---

It appeared when I was loading a child form (frmPublisher) from the MDI form. I'm guessing this has something to do with the loaded form being overloaded or something? This didn't kind of error didn't happen when frmPublisher's only opened the database connection once (during the Load event). I modified the code to make sure that frmPublisher's subs only opened the connection when needed, and I got this error.

By the way, I'm opening the form via singleton method.

Attached is the code from the frmPublisher.

Sorry. Thread resolved. Something wrong with the frmPublisher's load event.

Original code:
    Private Sub frmPublisherManager_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load

        dbConn.ConnectionString = "Integrated Security=SSPI; Initial Catalog=CBIS; Persist Security Info=False;"

        ...

        'display data from the database into the text fields and datagrid
        If dbDsetPublisherManager.Tables(0).Rows.Count > 0 Then
            dbConn.Open()

            'initially populate the dataset
            dbAdpPublisherManager = New SqlClient.SqlDataAdapter("SELECT * from Publisher", dbConn)
            dbDsetPublisherManager = New DataSet
            dbAdpPublisherManager.Fill(dbDsetPublisherManager, "Publisher")

            FillFields()
            btnFirst.Enabled = False
            btnPrevious.Enabled = False

            dgPublisher.DataSource = dbDsetPublisherManager
            dgPublisher.DataMember = "Publisher"
        ElseIf dbDsetPublisherManager.Tables(0).Rows.Count = 0 Then
            MsgBox("There are no available publisher records. Click the" & vbCrLf & "[Add Entry] button to start adding records.", MsgBoxStyle.Information, "No Available Records")
        End If

        're-initilize the flags as FALSE
        addflag = False
        editflag = False

        dbConn.Close()

    End Sub

Revised code:
    Private Sub frmPublisherManager_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load

        dbConn.ConnectionString = "Integrated Security=SSPI; Initial Catalog=CBIS; Persist Security Info=False;"
        dbConn.Open()

        'initially populate the dataset
        dbAdpPublisherManager = New SqlClient.SqlDataAdapter("SELECT * from Publisher", dbConn)
        dbDsetPublisherManager = New DataSet
        dbAdpPublisherManager.Fill(dbDsetPublisherManager, "Publisher")

        ...

        'display data from the database into the text fields and datagrid
        If dbDsetPublisherManager.Tables(0).Rows.Count > 0 Then
            FillFields()
            btnFirst.Enabled = False
            btnPrevious.Enabled = False

            dgPublisher.DataSource = dbDsetPublisherManager
            dgPublisher.DataMember = "Publisher"
        ElseIf dbDsetPublisherManager.Tables(0).Rows.Count = 0 Then
            MsgBox("There are no available publisher records. Click the" & vbCrLf & "[Add Entry] button to start adding records.", MsgBoxStyle.Information, "No Available Records")
        End If

        're-initilize the flags as FALSE
        addflag = False
        editflag = False

        dbConn.Close()

    End Sub
